With a IWSC Silver 2024 accolade, this classic Chablis from Burgundy is a must-have for white wine enthusiasts.

Tesco Finest Signargues Côtes du Rhône Villages, £9
For those who enjoy bold, full-bodied reds, this IWSC Bronze 2024-winning blend of Grenache and Syrah from the southernmost village in Côtes du Rhône is a standout. Rich with blackcurrant, cherry, and warming spice, this wine is ideal for Sunday roasts, a juicy steak, or sipping by the fire.

Another robust red, this IWSC Bronze 2024 winner is grown in the Abruzzo region of Italy, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The Primitivo boasts intense flavours of blackberries and ripe plums, complemented by savoury spices and a long, rich finish. It’s a fantastic choice for pairing with Italian dishes or a cheese board, offering a taste of southern Italy during the winter months.
